    Since my new system is going to cost a lot of money, I want to ease the pain somewhat by selling my current PC.

    How much would this system still fetch second-hand?

    Somewhere between $400-500, and probably closer to $400 is my guess for the whole thing.

    I think between £200-£300.

    The reason is -
    The graphics, the sound, the HDD and the PSU.

    I just saw a P4 2Ghz Compaq system on eBay for £350.
    It had 160GB HDD, 256MB graphics and a dedicated sound card.

    Anyone looking to upgrade your machine would not want to spend so much money buying new parts (especialy if it a an old case) and someone who just wants a basic machine (which is what this is) would not want to spen too much money on....a basic machine....

    I'd give it 350 euros. Sorry I'm not sure what exact currency they use in Belgium but it's a start.

    Okay, thanks! I'm thinking about offering it on Ebay starting at €100 ($120), but without the screen.

    I'd like to get double for that really, but between the hassle of shipping or coming to collect it, I doubt there would be much bids if I let it start at €200 ($240)

    I had a second thought: maybe I could convert it into a machine for storing and synching digital music to the other PC's within our wireless network. Anyone got any experience with this?

    Well, if you put the music on it, in a shared folder of course, and then make a playlist on the client computer of the songs on the server you would have it. Thats the easiest way I can think of.
